Brothers and sisters, there is a terrible problem facing our race. The problem is the decreasing number of successful, healthy, mature, and sound Black men in America — Black men who could have been fathers, leaders, mentors and entrepreneurs. But most importantly, Black women cannot find an equally successful, healthy, mature, sound Black man in today’s society.
But my intention is not to make everyone melancholy, but to offer a modest proposal to this problem. Since there are single brothers from the Gamma Epsilon (GE) chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., I suggest that all of these men, including myself, receive a district. In this district the Bruhs will be responsible for all the ‘manly’ needs of a few thousand women. For example, if a certain woman needs a date, someone to hold, a baby, or just needs good loving, the Bruhs will be there. There is absolutely no reason for single beautiful Black women to be lonely; there are enough of the Bruhs to go around.
The advantages of my proposal are somewhat obvious. The first advantage would greatly lessen the number of sexually transmitted diseases amongst our people. All the Bruhs will be periodically tested for STDs and will be required to wear condoms while engaging in sex. The second advantage would give Black women a choice of man they want to father their child. There are a plethora of handsome, intelligent and sophisticated men at GE that a woman could spend days trying to choose which Bruh she wants. For example, if she wants a sexual chocolate child, she would come to my district and I would be more than happy to oblige. And the third advantage would be that all the woman’s sexual needs will be satisfied, because the Bruhs at GE are Certified Super Lovers (CSL).
But seriously, this problem facing our race is very depressing. I suggest that we as a people stop killing each other for drugs, clothes, cars and other petty items and start showing love towards each other. Remember the leading cause of death for Black males ages 15-25 is not disease, but genocide. Some even say if we’re not dead, we’re either in jail or gay.
Black families need to monitor their sons’ education, development, and respect for women. Positive Black men need to be mentors to young Black men. And most importantly, Black women need to start teaching their sons to be independent and self-sufficient instead of neglecting to provide these life skills to them. You provide that to your daughters…don’t you?
